I have read some of the leave are written in English such as"I will be out of office, sth ...", why not is "I will out of office..."?

Hello, jgong-- and welcome to English Forums. The progressive aspect ( -ing form) of verbs works similarly in all tenses, and has a similar relationship to the simple verb forms. Progressive is used to indicate a continuing activity, especially relative to the rest of the sentence: I study English = generally, an activity I do at unspecified times I am studying English = now or currently I am actively doing this.

thank you Mister Micawber

I will out of office - This is no good; it has no verb

so this "be" of "I will be out of office ..." in here as an auxiliary verb application?

No. It is the main verb and a linking verb.
